Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The ACCC has rejected Telstra's access undertaking proposing connection and disconnection charges of $90 each for its line sharing service, which enables broadband ISPs to use a Telstra copper pair to deliver ADSL services while it continues to provide a normal PSTN service.
The ACCC has concluded that Telstra's proposed LSS connection and disconnection charges are well above the appropriate costs for this service, and that it is not appropriate for a separate disconnection charge to be levied in all cases.
The ACCC also retains some concerns that the undertaking does not provide sufficient certainty to access seekers that charges for larger scale 'managed network migrations' would not charged at the same per line rate set out in the undertaking.
"While Telstra has provided assurances that it would not seek to apply the undertaking charges indiscriminately to all connections, the ACCC is still of the view that it would be preferable if this was made clear in the terms of the undertaking itself," the ACCC said.
Telstra submitted access undertakings for ULLS monthly charges, ULLS connection charges, LSS monthly charges and LSS connection and disconnection charges in December 2004. All four undertakings provided pricing for the 2004-05 and 2005-06 financial years.
The ACCC released final decisions on the two monthly charge undertakings and draft decisions on the connection/disconnection charge undertakings in December 2005. However, following that draft decision, Telstra withdrew its ULLS connection charge undertaking.
